Allies for Educational Equity endorses Allison Bajracharya for the primary election to represent Board District 5 on the Los Angeles Unified School District Board.

To inform our endorsement, LA-based Allies invited candidates to speak directly with our community of peers to share their platform and address questions, rooted in a commitment to excellence and equity for all kids.

“As the nation’s second-largest school district and largest public charter school authorizer, LAUSD is charged to meet the college and life aspirations of the more than 600,000 young people it serves. Allison’s track record and platform clearly stands out from the pack of primary candidates to lead with kids in mind,” says Lea Crusey, Founder and CEO of Allies for Educational Equity.

Ms. Bajracharya brings with her a career that includes classroom instruction, school operations, and direct engagement with parents and community who seek great school options. This breadth of relevant expertise and depth of community familiarity reflect Allies for Educational Equity’s values and principles.
